Proceedings Of tho Methodist Delegates
in Session Observation-Disclosures Greet
ings From the Church south-Plsn Of
Visitation.
The session opened yesterday morning at
9a. NJ, Bishop s. 8. Foster in the chair.
One Of the most absorbing matters to
come before the present body was decided
yesterday morning. After discussion it
vas voted to change from q mission to an
annual conference. For seven years Mon.
ana mission had q superintendent, Rev.
F.A. Riggin. By this vote, together with
the approval OF the Bishop, which was
given, the Montana mission is now consti-
superintendent il discontinued. and the
body assumes the permanent form OF
church government. The Methodists in
Montana are o entitled to a ministerial
and a lay delegate in their governing body,
THE CONFERENCE,
which meets once in four years. Two Wis
iting brethren were next introduced, viz:
Rev. W. C. Gray, Secretary OF the Colum.
bia River Conference, also Rev. A. C.
Couey, Of Butte. who made an address,
conveying to this conference the fraternal
greetings OF the Montana Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. which
convened last week in Helena. The Rev.
Mr.. Couey's q tdress was full OF a spirit of
fraternal unity and good feeling. as will be
seen by the following extract: "There are
many reasons Why this friendly feeling
should animate ne. We are sisters, the
daughters OF one mother. We are OF one
origin. We look to God az our common
father, and Wesley az the medium,
through whom We rave q common origin in
organized form. The names OF such ia.
theirs as Asbury, are
A COMMON INSPIRATION.
We have the same doctrines-those
which sweep the land. We place special
emphasis upon repentance, regeneration,
justification and sanctification. We have
. similar (the itinerant) polity. We are
peculiarly missionary. A man can be sent
to the mines or the byways and hedges be-
fore he is called. Finally. let us carry this
spirit OF fraternity through all the year."
1t was resolved that the conference rvcipro- !
cate this friendly feeling and appoint a
fratrrnal delegate to express the same to
the next annual meeting OF that body. /
Reports from the executive committee Of
the Montana Christian Advocate and OF
the committee on education we're read and !
properly referred. The character OF Rev. !
F. A. kiggin vas passed, who then read his
report OF labor as superintendent and pre-
siding elder OF Helena District. This dis |
trict reports very large benevolent collec-
tions, and the report is in many respects /
very encouragipg. At 8 p. m. Rev. w. B.
Coombe preached, and At 3 Rev. W. A.
Shannon. The evening closed with q char.
acteristic Methodist testimony meeting.
